Quiet Vent
Some months ago, I read a post from a John Morgan, Minden NV. He was
developing a gadget that was to diminish noise from the clearvision panel vent. I think he called it the Quiet Vent. Any further word on his venture? Any contact info? THNX Ron W (RW) |

Quiet Vent
The Quiet Vent kit has been re-designed. The new design provides the same 10
db noise reduction* as the original design. However it is more robust and less "fiddly" to install. To order, send $5 USD and a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: John Morgan 194 Taylor Creek Rd. Minden, NV 89460 Money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied (simply return QV). Also, any original design QV that proves defective may be returned for a new design QV at no charge. * Noise reduction measured with the pop-out side vent fully open (this is the vent in the sliding Mecaplex window) and was measured at pilot's head level while at 60 knots in my ASH26E). Also available, the MKII "high tech" yaw string. Clear turbulator base, natural wool yarn - $9 USD. -- bumper ZZ (reverse all after @) "Dare to be different . . . circle in sink."

Quiet Vent
Hi Bumper - I'm very concerned about the price,
being a glider pilot and therefore cheap by definition. Do you offer volume discounts so we can equip our Duo ? Thanks, Best Regards, Dave PS: Is the special yaw string also affixed at the rear to improve my flying ? bumper wrote: The Quiet Vent kit has been re-designed.

Quiet Vent
Dave,
You're not the first to complain, a number of pilots have taken issue over the inexpensive price, I mean, "How could it be any good if it's so cheap?" It's cheap because, even though it is made of high tech materials, it's small and light weight. In fact, it's so light that if I charged much more, purchasers might hunt me down and hurt me - - I'm basically a coward. So to please those Duo owners who'd rather spend more, I've come up with a special deal just for them - 2 for the price of 3 . . . wowser!! I'm also working on an "always straight" option for the MKII Yaw String that is sure to please even the most dead footed back seat Duo pilot. It keeps the yaw string nicely centered no matter what you do with the rudder. all the best, -- bumper ZZ (reverse all after @) "Dare to be different . . . circle in sink." wrote in message oups.com...

that no-fault yaw string. - John |

Ed,
The Quiet Vent kit is relatively new and has not been marketed commercially. It's only been mentioned on this newsgroup and on the Stemme and ASH26E groups. I've also sold a few of the first version of QV at Minden where I'm based. That said, there are enough of the first QV version in use that you may get a testimonial in response - - maybe. Please note that the first version was not robust in use and could fail at sub-zero temperatures. The seal, if not installed exactly right, could vibrate like the reed in an obo! I'm replacing these at no charge. The QV is completely clear when installed, so good pictures may be difficult. If you email me privately, I'll send you a picture that has the QV colored with a felt tip marker so it shows up well - - I did this for the instruction sheet. 'Course you could always take a chance and order one, only $5 - - cheerfully refunded if you're not satisfied. -- bumper ZZ (reverse all after @) "Dare to be different . . . circle in sink."

Okay John, you've piqued my interest. Any chance you could send me the photo? Are you by any chance set up to take PayPal if I decide to order one? Regards, Erik Mann LS8-18 (P3) |
